Frazetta, A Great Loss

He recalled in 2010, a month before his death,

When I drew something, my grandmother would be the one to say it was wonderful and would give me a penny to keep going. Sometimes I had nothing left to draw on but toilet paper. As I got older, I started drawing some pretty wild things for my age. I remember the teachers were always mesmerized by what I was doing, so it was hard to learn anything from them. So I went to art school when I was a little kid, and even there the teachers were flipping out.

Frazetta died of a stroke on May 10, 2010, in a hospital near his residence in Florida

A Little Bill Oakes

Bill Oakes, 1944-2005, was an artist extraordinaire...a man who was larger than life and a lover of life and all of its gifts. He started out as a graphic artist doing illustrations and was even an accredited courthouse artist for the Watergate trials. One of his works appeared on the cover of the Washington Post. Bill's works appeared in magazines such as Time, National Geographic, Reader's Digest and Yankee. An accomplished representational watercolorist Bill eventually evolved to his present dramatic experimentalist abstract style...the Museum of Science did a major show of his work. A passionate painter, sculptor and photographer, Bill did it all. A true artists' artist...he is missed.
